Answer
Hi Miqbal, U.S. Trade Dollars were minted for use 1873 through 1878. Proof versions were minted 1879 through 1885. One with an 1872 date is an obvious fake, not a rarity. It has no collector value.
U.S. coin values for professionally graded coins and pictures can be found here: http://www.pcgs.com/prices/ .
You might also try a library for a copy of the Guidebook of United States Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
